A low-complexity method for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation based on estimation signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) is proposed. Instead of using the cross-correlation vectors in multistage Wiener filter (MSWF), the orthogonal residual vectors obtained in conjugate gradient (CG) method span the signal subspace used by ESPRIT. The computational complexity of the pro...

The single-carrier block transmission (SCBT), a.k.a., single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FOE), is being considered as an option technique for the wireless personal area network (WPAN) operating at 60 GHz. It is found that for residential environment, in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) multi-path channels, the SCBT is much more effective to combat the inter-symbol interference (lSI) compared...

Compressive sensing is a revolutionary idea proposed recently to achieve much lower sampling rate for signals. In the image application with limited resources the camera data can be stored and processed in compressed form. An algorithm for moving object and region detection in video using a compressive sampling is developed. The algorithm estimates motion information of the moving object and regio...

In the high speed target environment, there exists serious Doppler effect in the low pulse repetition frequency (LPRF) modulated frequency stepped frequency (MFSF) radar signal. The velocity range of the target is large and the velocity is high ambiguous, so the single method is difficult to satisfy the velocity measurement requirement. For this problem, a novel method is presented, it is a combin...

The location of a moving target based on signal fitting and sub-aperture tracking from an airborne multi-channel radar is dealt with. The proposed approach is applied in two steps: first, the ambiguous slant-range velocity is derived with a modified single-snapshot multiple direction of arrival estimation method, and second, the unambiguous slant-range velocity is found using a track-based criteri...

The method of using a narrowband filter to realize matched filtering is derived. A novel method of using spectrum sampling to realize matched filtering is presented, and the method can conquer the disadvantages that the narrowband filter cannot adopt the adaptive scheduling of phased array radars and realize matched filtering for several waveforms. A novel error extraction method is proposed, whic...

A quadratic bilevel programming problem is transformed into a single level complementarity slackness problem by applying Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. To cope with the complementarity constraints, a binary encoding scheme is adopted for KKT multipliers, and then the complementarity slackness problem is simplified to successive quadratic programming problems, which can be solved by many algo...

Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) theory assumes that decision variables are regarded as inputs or outputs, and no variable can play the roles of both an input and an output at the same time. In fact, there exist some variables that work as inputs and outputs simultaneously and are called dual-role variables. Traditional DEA models cannot be used to appraise the performance of decision m...

In dynamic environments, it is important to track changing optimal solutions over time. Univariate marginal distribution algorithm (UMDA) which is a class algorithm of estimation of distribution algorithms attracts more and more attention in recent years. In this paper a new multi-population and diffusion UMDA (MDUMDA) is proposed for dynamic multimodal problems. The multi-population approach is u...

With the development of the monitoring technology, it is more and more common that the system is continuously monitored. Therefore, the research on the maintenance optimization of the continuously monitored deterioration system is important. The deterioration process of the discussed system is described by a Gamma process. The predictive maintenance is considered to be imperfect and formulated. Th...

The command and control (C2) is a decision-making process based on human cognition, which contains operational, physical, and human characteristics, so it takes on uncertainty and complexity. As a decision support approach, Bayesian networks (BNs) provide a framework in which a decision is made by combining the experts' knowledge and the specific data. In addition, an expert system represented by ...

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) resource scheduling means to allocate and aggregate the available UAV resources depending on the mission requirements and the battlefield situation assessment. I n previous studies, the models cannot reflect the mission synchronization; the targets are treated respectively, which results in the large scale of the problem and high computational complexity. To overcome ...

This paper deals with the problem of H∞ fault estimation for linear time-delay systems in finite frequency domain. First a generalized coordinate change is applied to the original system such that in the new coordinates all the time-delay terms are injected by the system's input and output. Then an observer-based H∞ fault estimator with input and output injections is proposed for fau...

A novel decentralized indirect adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller is developed for a class of large-scale uncertain nonlinear systems using error filtering. By the properly filtering of the observation error dynamics, the strictly positive-real condition is guaranteed to hold such that the proposed output feedback and adaptation mechanisms are practicable in practice owing to the fact that ...

An adaptive neural network output-feedback regulation approach is proposed for a class of multi-input-multi-output nonlinear time-varying delayed systems. Both the designed observer and controller are free from time delays. Different from the existing results, this paper need not the assumption that the upper bounding functions of time-delay terms are known, and only a neural network is employed t...

The receding horizon control (RHC) problem is considered for nonlinear Markov jump systems which can be represented by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models subject to constraints both on control inputs and on observe outputs. In the given receding horizon, for each mode sequence of the T-S modeled nonlinear system with Markov jump parameter, the cost function is optimized by constraints on state trajectorie...
